The Black Poplar of Carolina. 



TIHIS Tree grows only near rivers, above the inhabited 

 parts of Carolina. They are large and very talh In 

 Aprilj at which time only I faw them, they had dropt their 

 feeds ; which, by the remains, I could only perceive to hang 

 in clufters, with a cotton like confiftence covering them. 

 Upon the large fwelling buds of this Tree flicks a very odo- 

 riferous balfam. The leaves are indented about the edges, and 



very broad, refembling in fliape the Black Poplar, defcribed 

 hy Parkinfon.
